Concrete Flooring

Concrete serves as a sturdy base for various flooring materials like hardwood, tile, and carpet. However, an increasing number of homeowners are now opting for mechanically polished concrete floors without any additional covering. Commercial establishments, such as retail stores, warehouses, and restaurants, have long embraced exposed and polished concrete floors due to their environmental sustainability, durability, and appealing aesthetics.

Features and Benefits of Concrete Flooring

Concrete Flooring

Cleaning is a breeze – sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, or wiping won't damage the floor. It can withstand wear from frequent use and resist spills effectively.

Concrete floors are exceptionally hard and can outlast other building materials when properly poured and cured by experienced concrete flooring companies or contractors.

While the basic concrete floor design remains the same, you can choose from countless micro toppings, including colors, different design patterns, and textures. Sanding and polishing reveal the natural aggregates, creating an eye-catching visual appeal.

Concrete floors have excellent thermal mass, absorbing and spreading heat from sunlight, which can lead to lower energy bills for heating and cooling your home.

Understanding Concrete Flooring Costs

The cost of concrete flooring is typically between $3 and $8 per square foot, with polishing pushing it up to around $10 per square foot. While more expensive than carpet, it is more budget-friendly compared to hardwood flooring. Additional options like painting, staining, sealing, and polishing will add to the overall cost. Here's an approximate breakdown:

Design Aspect Cost (per sq. ft.)
Paint and sealant $1.5 - $3
Custom stain $2 - $10
Grinding (for a polished look) $1 - $4
Floor repair $2
Underlayment $2 - $3
